About this Event
Learn about our local bees and the importance of pollinating flowering native and crop plants as we discuss the findings from the most recent research funded by the Glass Bee Fellowship!
Rachel Arabian and Fiona Dell’Antonio, URI Wildlife Conservation Biology Major and 2025 Glass Bee Fellow,s and Steven Alm, Professor of Entomology and head of URI's Bee Lab will be presenting research findings on the bees of Rhode Island. Arabian and Dell'Antonio spent the summer at the URI Bee Lab under the mentorship of Dr. Alm. Through the course of the fellowship, they completed two different research projects, 'Water foraging preferences of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera)' and 'Searching for Pollen Specialist Bees in Rhode Island'.
Join us on April 22, 2026, when Arabian, Dell'Antonio, and Dr. Alm will share findings from both research projects in a conversation at ‘Pollinator Night’ at The Glass Station Studio and Gallery. The Rhode Island Wild Plant Society (RIWPS) will also be in attendance to answer questions on pollinators, our native plant species, and ways you can support native biodiversity through their project, ReSeeding RI.
Limited free spaces available, RSVP required. Come with your questions on bees or insects in general!
